Do you enjoy reading the creator’s notes or side stories? Do you think they add something meaningful to the plot or provide important information, or do you see them as unnecessary?

What is clubbing like now? Does it still feel like going crazy into the dance floor while timber is playing or does it feel like a boring party someone throw with horrible music playing in the bg

No cause, back then I felt weird for hating on him just cause everyone loves and glazes him. He doesn't even look hot, he looks like he's a drug addict (never read it so idk if this is true) and doesn't ever shower. Nothing about him is even redeemable, his personality is literally shit. He's a rapist. He has a generic 6 pack abs.

What brought on this realization is actually really funny, here I was reading a yaoi manhwa I saw hyped up, and the first scene was full of non consensual sex and it was jarring. I immediately hit the back button my day ruined. I thought to myself people enjoy this ? People think Rapists characters deserve redemption arcs? Insane.
Then I realized I have no right to judge lmao as an old tradjoshi jap anime back then had no concept of consent, with their weird ass size differences and bottoms like children, I can acknowledge is very weird now. Atleast even if there's rape these days, both love interests look like adults? A win is a win?
But the fact that I can't stomach such media anymore, be it in my novels, manhwas, mangas, anime or live action I don't want to see an assaulter as a live interest it's wrong. But this realization made me realize, 18 year old me who had painter of the night as her phone background would tell me to fuck off.
I started to think about other things that have changed, like how when I like a manhwa here I go to official sites to support the official work, how I cringe when I see teenagers under graphic yaoi smut comment sections.
It's not just this, irl I looked at status updates of all my age mates, and it's married, married, engaged, mother, mother, guys when did we get here?! I tried to talk to my best friend about it, and she tells me I have a niece who's education I'm sponsoring and I realize damn I really am an adult. When did this happen?
Genuinely? One moment I'm on bato reading yaoi another moment...I'm still reading yaoi actually but as a person pushing 30 with responsibilities.
I'm not ready, but here I am. Mentally though, it's still 2017, I just finished highschool, got my first phone and access to unlimited internet content.
: P.S: Yaoi is not a phase guys, you're never going to grow out of it.

I’m 22 and I’m afraid of death, the fact that nobody knows what happens in the afterlife it’s frightening is it not?
Some people might think in their minds but you’re young! Death comes for everyone.
My mom died of breast cancer and I’m terrified that one day it might be too late for me or my sister to get it treated, I might’ve been little when that happened but I remember the times she was in pain, it’s heartbreaking. I’ve told my sister multiple times to get herself checked cause we both have double the chance of getting it but she always brushes me off saying why do you think that or I don’t have time.
Im scared, I don’t have insurance and I needed to withdraw all my 401k for an emergency.
I’m scared I won’t have enough money to cover for my future medical bills.
I live in the us so healthcare is literally disgusting here, and I’ve seen who easily doctors brush off symptoms until it’s too late.
(Sorry for the 1am rant)

What are some criticism you have for popular manhwa or manhwa you found underwhelming especially with all the hype it received? Here are mine. share your criticism on certain manhwa and thoughts.
Red String Quest: too much sex. The reincarnation/fated meetings hook is a genuinely good idea , the ache of almost recognizing someone across lifetimes has real emotional potential, but the story keeps defaulting to sex scenes instead of building that recognition out. It ends up feeling like the central conceit is just an excuse to reset the leads into bed every arc rather than something the plot actually explores.
Reverse Thinking : too much sexual violence. It’s leaning on non con/dubcon as its main shorthand for “this relationship is dark and unhealthy,” when that’s something a psychological thriller should be able to establish through the characters’ behavior and dynamic instead. Repeating the same device over and over doesn’t deepen the psychology, it just repeats the shock.
No Returns After Use: it’s slop, straightforwardly badly written. Not a “the premise is uncomfortable but well executed” problem, the actual writing and pacing feel careless, like it’s coasting on the shock of the setup instead of doing craft work to make any of it land. It’s one of those “guilty pleasure” manhwa.
Yang Ilwoo and I :
okay but underwhelming, and this premise has been done better elsewhere. The specific issue: Baekhee is written as headstrong, but he keeps tolerating Gyeom’s manipulation, Gyeom uses the abusive father trauma to keep Baekhee dependent on him, and Baekhee just… lets that happen, repeatedly, with no real pushback that matches his supposed personality. That inconsistency reads like the author is stretching the angst out for chapter count rather than following the character logically.
Die in My Arms: edgy and cliché. The whole premise runs on shock value (yandere ex) without building past that hook into anything structurally distinct. It’s genre furniture, the possessive ex, the fatalistic framing , assembled rather than developed.
Backlight: shallow plot, and the antagonist doesn’t really contribute anything meaningful, backstory never gets fleshed out.

Basically its about a world where the tattoo you have shows if your in the higher upper people the lower people i remember that the main couple had one with blonde hair and the other black and I believe the blonde hair was supposed to kill the black haired guy but didn't because his feelings gotten to strong... and the side couple is a guy with Grey hair with a buzz cut and a scar on his eye because this evil guy ripped it out and the other guy with black hair. ( I probably explained this horribly but if you know help outt. I suddenly remembered I was supposed to finish it but I can't find it anywhere!!)
